  1. I am trying to identify fossils in these thin sections of Silurian sedimentary rocks from Lithuania. Any ideas? I am still learning and lacking so much in experience… 🥺
    I think I got the Crinoids right and some Bryozoas, but that’s it.
    .
    Also, next to these there are some nice cathodoluminescence photos of the same thin sections 🤩 You can see growth zones in them!

    I love these. 👍 A couple of years ago, The High Desert Museum near Bend Oregon (of all places) had an amazing temporary exhibit of thin sections with diverse mineralogy, including meteorites, with microscopes set up, and massive wall sized prints of micrographs. I spent more time there that day than I like to admit. I'll try to post pics some day when I prowl around in my photo archives.

    Keep ''em coming!!!

    One specimen from a really great digitization programme of over 300,000 images. All captured by volunteers at the British Geological Survey #thinsections
